Everything

from Rage (Remastered 2022) by John Ludi

/

about

A song about almost every politician or "leader" since the beginning of time.

lyrics

Everything

I'm not a demagog, a power freak,
but controlling everything is what I seek.
Ultimate power deserves no better hands,
why not omnipotence for such a brilliant man?

Everything, all or nothing
tighten my reigns upon the world.

Make me president and sign my praise.
Vow all your loyalties, no doubts I'll raise.
Lay all your problems in a basket at my feet.
My trivialities will make your life complete.

Everything, all or nothing
draining the juices from the world.

Just crown me god, just for one day
all the world's flaws I'll wipe away.

Give me power over life and death itself
and surround me with donations and wealth.
Call me a genius and devote your souls to me.
Sign all your names in blood, I'll laugh with a tyrant's glee.

Everything, all or nothing
choking the life out of the world.

Everything, all or nothing
eternal night for all the world.
